    Great ride all - but some brutal looking climbs! The rewards though look excellent - those views!
    That loco is a Battle of Britain Class Bulleid Pacific, or 'Spam Can,' and was built in 1947 apparently. Ugly great things though, not like GWR locos at all 😎 One of the planet's greatest smells to be found there though - steam engines. A heady mix of steam, grease, oil, paint and polish 😍 Other great smells are freshly cut grass, coffee, bread and especially Castrol R 😍😍
    Hello to Julie! 👋👋 glad everything is on track and going well! 👍

    • @WheelersAtLarge
      @WheelersAtLarge  3 місяці тому +1

      Even from the road it was a hulking great loco.
      They have open days and visiting locos, quite an active railway.
      "Liquid engineering" I know Castrol GTX but I never had the pleasure of R 😁
      Thanks Mick, Julie's doing better everyday 👍

      @@WheelersAtLarge Ah Castrol R - ask any motorsports enthusiast of a certain age about it and watch their eyes light up. It was an oil for racing engines and gave off a rather pleasant but strong aroma! 😍

    That was a great route, Mike. I'm watching this the day after you posted it, after returning from my road trip to ride the Route of the Hiawatha. As you folks over the pond would say, that bucket item is done and dusted. It is good to hear that things went well with Julie's procedure. Please give her a hug for me, and let her know there is more positive energy heading her way. I also let out my first yeehaw in the middle of the 1.6 mile tunnel on the Hiawatha. It seemed like it echoed for minutes.

      @WheelersAtLarge last time we were there was 2004, but my father went there in the 1950's, in 2004 nothing had changed much, still a 2 room old house, with a locals bar, and a visitors bar. we asked, have you anything to eat? he replied yes, cornish pastie, ok 2 please, only to be told they had not arrived yet!!
      Still they were wonderfully fresh when they did. Cutlery in a beer glass, upside down of course, but having walked from Kimmeridge we were so grateful, and after to Swanage, via Durlston Head Hotel for tea. The manager right out of Faulty Towers...great day....

    when your tyre goes a bit soft, put another dose of gunk in at home and spin the wheel and go for a ride.
    DO NOT over inslate your tyre.
    DO NOT twist the valve when inflating, one can break the seal.
